On-Ramp
Wireless™, a leading provider of wireless solutions for
M2M communications, announced today that former Verizon (News - Alert) Chairman and CEO
Ivan Seidenberg has joined its board of directors, and former Verizon
EVP and Chief Technology Officer Richard "Dick" Lynch has joined its
advisory board. Mr. Seidenberg and Mr. Lynch each bring a wealth of
wireless industry and management expertise to On-Ramp from their
extensive careers in telecommunications. Their decision to join On-Ramp
further validates the company's vision and business plan as it builds
its wireless communications platform for delivering on the full promise
of the Internet of Things. In their roles, Mr. Seidenberg and Mr. Lynch
will advise On-Ramp on scaling the company, working with large partners,
and expanding into global markets.

Analysts predict that billions of devices will be connected in the next
evolutionary wave of the Internet. To make this possible, the market
will need to turn to more economically-viable wireless network
alternatives, such as low power, wide-area networks. On-Ramp's Total
Reach Network, with its patented RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple
Access) technology, delivers unprecedented reach, capacity and
flexibility for wide-area M2M communications. Operating in unlicensed
spectrum, the On-Ramp solution uses signal processing innovations to
find weak signals even in high noise environments or over large
distances with immunity to high interference. Already proven within the
Electric Utility and Oil & Gas markets, On-Ramp's Total Reach Network
provides the coverage and capacity for the monitoring and management of
corporate assets without the costs and operational burdens inherent in
other network technologies.

"Having experienced the growth of the cellular industry and the hundreds
of millions of users who ave been connected, I am energized to now be
involved in growing the use of low-power networks to connect billions of
unconnected devices," said Seidenberg. "Though these devices are
inherently different, the strategy of building the business structure is
the same. I am impressed by On-Ramp's vision and future plans, and
believe that it is a leading communications technology for a large
majority of future M2M applications."

As a telecommunications industry pioneer, Mr. Seidenberg led Verizon
since its inception in 2000 to his retirement in 2011. Since 2012, he
has been an advisory partner at Perella Weinberg Partners, a boutique
investment banking firm. In addition to his role as CEO of Verizon
Communications, Mr. Seidenberg held numerous advisory roles including
chairing the Business Roundtable. Currently he is a member of the New
York Academy of Sciences' President's Council and serves on the board of
trustees of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the New York Hall of
Science, Pace University, and on the Board of Directors of BlackRock,
Inc.

"I am impressed by On-Ramp's RPMA technology and the opportunity that it
provides to accelerate the inevitable connection of billions of
previously unreachable endpoints, such as intelligent monitoring devices
and machines," said Lynch. "The reliability, security, and cost points
made possible by On-Ramp's technology and network design mitigate a huge
chunk of the problems which, until now, have prevented these endpoints
from being reached. There are so many industry segments that can benefit
from this technology, and I am eager to see the On-Ramp team bring its
technology to these new markets."

With over 39 years of experience in telecommunications, including as the
CTO of Verizon Communications, Verizon Wireless (News - Alert) and its predecessors,
Mr. Lynch has been at the forefront of selecting and deploying wireless
technology solutions; he was responsible for the selection of CDPD,
CDMA, EV-DO and LTE for use within the Verizon network. Currently Mr.
Lynch is president of FB Associates which provides advisory and
consulting services at the intersection of technology, marketing, and
business operations. Mr. Lynch is a Fellow of The Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE (News - Alert)) and has been awarded patents
in the field of wireless communications. He has served on the boards of
numerous industry organizations including the GSM Association, the CDMA
Development Group, and as a member of the Federal Communications
Commission Technical Advisory Committee and Communications Security
Reliability and Interoperability Council. Mr. Lynch currently serves on
the Board of Directors of Ruckus Wireless (News - Alert), Sonus Networks, and
Blackberry.

"Having not one, but two, industry pioneers advising us is a great honor
and testament to the strength of On-Ramp's wireless technology and
business, which was purpose-built to connect the Internet of Things,"
said Kevin Hell (News - Alert), president and CEO, On-Ramp Wireless. "With their deep
experience and relationships in the wireless market, Ivan and Dick will
undoubtedly bring tremendous strategic insights to the company and help
us build valuable go-to-market partnerships."

Don Telage, Chairman of On-Ramp Wireless, remarked, "We are pleased to
welcome Ivan and Dick to On-Ramp and we look forward to working with
them closely to fully deliver on the tremendous market potential of the
company's next generation RF technology." Barak Bussel, Managing Partner
of Third Wave Ventures added, "As lead investor in On-Ramp, we believe
Ivan and Dick will help position the company for strong growth across
new geographies and vertical markets."
